~ At Home

Monthly Archives: December 2012

Today’s focus: For the guest areas of your house today we will focus on cleaning trash cans. Empty and with a fresh liner for the cans in the kitchen, bath and living room. And one available near where your company will be sleeping is a nice touch.

KTime: Listen to your favorite holiday music. Light a candle in honor of the solstice. And remember why you celebrate.

Today’s Focus: Taking care of yourself. Today let us put all the holiday bustle on pause and take good care of ourselves. Plan on eating at least one fresh food today. Drink plenty of water. Take a long shower or a soak in the tub. Both if you can! Do your nails. Use that nice lotion. And as soon as possible tonight get in your comfy sleep clothes and fix yourself a London Fog. Read a book just for you. Go to bed early. Nobody will care if the cookies are homemade if you are a frazzled mess. Now go take care of yourself. The next few days are meant to be enjoyed and not be a sprint to the gift unwrapping.

Today’s Focus: Today we are going to freshen up the area where our holiday company will sleep. Are the linens clean and fresh? Is there a pretty basket of toiletries? Can they get to the restroom without falling over stuff? Do you have enough blankets and pillows? Is there a place for them to charge the phone? How about a basket of your special treats? Can’t you just see your tired guests snuggling in and having a bite of your favorite Christmas treats before they nod off. Are you prepared to feed them breakfast in the morning?

KTime: I think I will be fixing a potato bar tonight. With chili, cheese, onions, sour cream, bacon and salsa as optional toppings. With perhaps some cornbread on the side. Then I will settle down to my knitting and a cup of tea.

Today’s Focus: Guest bathroom. Let us get this little room ready for company. Is it clean and fresh? Do you have enough paper essentials stocked? How about the soaps and towels? Wipe down the fixtures and do a quick mop and add any necessary items to your shopping list.

Today’s KTime: The Christmas and Year End rush is upon us. Take time for a cup of something warm and to just enjoy your own corner of the world.
